God's Witnesses

(48 downloads)

Download this episode (24 min)  
The people of God witness when they present God to the world as Savior and Lord. God proves Himself in the face of false claims and still calls us to witness. Let us accept His forgiveness. God reveals Himself to be known by us. Let us believe in Him, know Him, and understand Him. God affirms His sovereignty over the universe. Let us continue to walk in His grace as the Lord of all. How are you showing the world that God is Savior and Lord?

Here is the second of the messages regarding the faith community of welcome. Our text is 1 Peter 4:7-11. Because God is bringing this world to its end, we can pray and love as though we were in the kingdom today. God calls us to love one another, and proves His love for His people by gifting us with powerful, bountiful grace. As we speak and act, we reflect the voice and strength of God. How are you glorifying God through His community of grace?

A Living Sacrifice

(41 downloads)

Download this episode (19 min)  
This is the August 10, 2008 message on worship, from Romans 12:1-2. By His compassion, God prompts us to encourage others, give our bodies as living sacrifices, and to let Him renew our minds. One way of looking at all this is through the lens of worship as a personal response to the grace of God. Whom do you encourage, and who encourages you to worship? How does your body identify you as a creature who worships God? -- How about your actions and the places you go? Does your mind conform to this world, or is God transforming you by renewing your mind? What is the good, the acceptable, the perfect will of God? Thank God for His compassionate acts, His mercies, which makes worship possible!
